How in the world did they make it to where you can drag and drop items around the page?
Any source for this? |

You could view the page source, and try pulling apart the javascript files you find referenced. | |

Firefox Users
Firefox support is coming soon. Please be patient :-)
| It seems to work in FF. At least drag and drop placement of the page elements. | |

ha! I think I found a bug 
If you move the existing content to one column, you can't drop stuff into a new column
At least in FF I couldn't
They completely hosed the page for Opera 
I like the google portal page, and I wouldnt' touch a hotmail acct. http://www.google.com/ig
You can also click and drag fields there.

i'd actually use the google page if it was themable, but i like a pretty homepage so i'm sticking with my yahoo. also because that makes it easy to check my yahoo mail, and it's already even easier to check gmail. would be nice though to have a page like that which you could set up to check any/every webmail service.
i'm using firefox right now and the microsoft site looks fine, but it's useless to me if it's not gonna show up in opera.

Strangely enough, IE is the one browser I haven't tried the site with yet, lol. It is purposely quite difficult to get to IE on my system. | |

Dragging items is pretty simple ( Generic Drag script, works in Opera, Moz/NS/FF, & IE).
Once you've got that figured out you just layout the page using CSS and save changes to cookies and BAM, you've got your own page that can be customized using drag-n-drop  .
